"this user has never been affiliated with the management of deviantART, Inc"

thats funny he posted about a million pics, it doesnt matter either way

[curiousmom]

I was actually at his online journal site, when this happened. I was reading an entry I had not previously read, and all of a sudden the page reloaded, and the messege came up that Dan posted. I tried to go back to another page, and the same thing happened there too. I still could get to the main page however, until right after I let someone know this had happened.

I'm wondering if something has just happened in the investigation? Seems weird that after all this time, they are just now shutting it down, unless they just got the subpeona issued to shut it down????

[Erin]

Maybe it wasn't a subpeona, but the management's decision. After all, the links have been floating on the web since Taylor went missing. It's been a month now.

[1inrichmond]

That's weird...I can still get ALL of his pictures. Go to deviantart.com and search "skulz." It will let you in.

[U.S.Marine]

Ahhhhh,

Maybe DeviantArt is feeling the heat!

Main Entry: de·vi·ant
Pronunciation: -&nt
Function: adjective
: deviating especially from an accepted norm
- deviant noun

The antitheses of "accepted" is "unaccepted."

Therefore, DeviantArt is an art that has deviated from the accepted norm - it is unaccepted by the norm in the art world.

This is off the subject of Taylor a little... but talking about them taking down Ben's website, I would have honestly thought that would have happened a while ago. Just my opinion though....... There is another website I have been reading lately that is written by the man who killed and kidnapped the Shasta Grone : http://fifthnail.blogspot.com/

You think Fawley is disturbing... read this guys blog!

[julie]

It's only his personal page as well the Business one is still up. I like right up for Jailhouse greeting card.

Does anyone happen to know where Ben Fawley was in mid to later part of August? There is a striking similarity between the death of Taylor and the death of Julie Popovich. I also notice that she was from Columbus, Ohio and so is ole Ben. Hmmmmmm, does he ever visit his home?

[curiousmom]

"It's only his personal page as well the Business one is still up"

If anyone has any reason to save a screenshot of anything on his business page, I'd do it now. Chances are, they'll take that one down too.

[1inrichmond]

Check this out! Probably old stuff for most though.

*Check out the last 3 photos he put up under random favorites. All those dates, the 8th twice and one on the 7th, are after he did what he did to Taylor. (sucks I have to write that last part) This lil' fag had the gall to post his art work after the fact.

Sorry about that post above ya'll

A subpeona is to get obtain information or to get someone into court.

You're thinking of a court order.

:: A year ago friends of an ex-girlfriend came into my apartment and attacked me. One left stabbed with his own knife. Now I got jumped, I am almost sure it was friends of the girl I was having problems with 4 months back. She has people saying I am doing stuff to her when I haven't done a thing. Yet she is placing ads online in my name. She posted messages to my guest book that were far from nice, and more. Now while I( was out taking photos I think she had me jumped.

I was out very early, not sure of the time but the sun hadn't been up long. I was heading up to Monument to take photos when 3 to 4 guys jumped me. They got a trash bag over my head before I could see them. Tossed me into a car and dumped me out on some dirt road. I wasn't hurt much, just from where that sat on me. As they never said a word I am sure this was not just a robbery. My one camera and tripod is missing along with the $20.00 I had tucked in the camera. I didn't have my wallet, but I did have my bank card and that wasn't taken.

I am sure it was someone who was looking to get a message across. The only person who is giving me trouble is Erin & friends, so I am sure this is another gift from her. So add this to the tally of shit she pulled, the worse was getting my web site pulled down. She used VegPorn to kill my site. If I had the money I can sue, but I don't have the cash to pay the lawyer's retainer. So she killed the web page, destroyed a bed I made, posted some ads and stuff that sure didn’t help, and now had me jumped. Gee what a nice girl. I would just leave town, but the day before I was to head to Philly she made sure I couldn’t go. Friday thanks to her I now face more problems keeping me here in this suck-ass town. I have a way out of town. Why must this psycho keep harassing me, why can’t she just let me alone so I can go back to my kids? ::

[Wolfie]

It would be morbidly funny if he were to be associated with all of those crimes on that chart. Crime rate in Richmond would plummet.

[mb]

This is labeled as VCU Crime Map. What the hell?

I have heard everyone's take on what probably happened the night of September 5, 2005....but I was wondering why some are thinking he would take Taylor to Mathews, Va to take pictures on this property (maybe which was the "highly illegal" thing she was referring to) if it was pitch black outside? I would think if they were going to take any pictures on this property that it would be in daylight.

[TG]

Does anyone know if Ben Fawley has been made aware that Taylor has been found?

[absynth_minded]

I'm sure LE has been leaning on him since she was, TG.

Though, they could be taking their time until they have a full report from the ME. Afterall, it's not like Fawley is going anywhere soon on the kiddie porn/gun charges.

[absynth_minded]

Just saw a news update.

- Complete ME report may take as much as a week and arrest(s) could take as long as two weeks (a preliminary cause of death could be announced in a few days.)

- The main issue at hand and what they will most likely base their case on is TOD (time of death.) They will need a time line as much as they need forensics, since Ben's DNA on Taylor and vice versa can easily be explained. So, basically, they need to catch BF blatently lying.

- Chief Moore says it is a remote possiblity that others could be charged.

[Simon]

From me, someone who knows the family:

At least there's a happy ending here - a skinny, liitle white boy in prison. Have fun in prison, Ben, here's to you having just a great fucking time.

Here are some interesting thoughts that I've read on BF's journal ~ I wonder about his play on words, how he "says" things w/o really saying them........ Maybe I'm thinking too much or looking too hard?? Sorry if they've been posted before :(

":: Out to eat something new, why is Mexican food "new" to me one might ask? ....yea, my real father was "Mexican" but I didn't know him, I am a picky eater, and I am not the best at trying new things. I have had a lot on my mind this month as I have taken a look at things and I am not looking to change who I am, but I could use a tune-up, some adjustments, and an upgrade to Skulz 8.0 now that I am about to be 38.
Change is hard, it can be a scary thing to do as you are going from something you know into something unfamiliar. I don’t fear much as I have been to hell in back in my sorted life. One who knows me pointed out once that there are not many who could have lived my life, done what I have, and gone through what I have and still be standing, let alone taking a chance on some of the things I do. I am me, this is who I am and the people who know me are ok with that. I seem to bother others as they just don’t get it and they could never get through or past the things I have done. I am not finished yet as I am working on something that will take me down another road of chance where the outcome is unknown and uncertain."

Here is more from BF journal ~ A comment about his hair and the changes he makes often....

"So the mop is copper blond again, and I think I will get it cut and use the last of the blue again in a bit. Yea, some won't like it but there is a "why" to all of this, I just cannot post that here. I also took some photos of my ugly mug, almost broke the camera in doing it. I want to take more photos but everyone who said they would has wussed out in one way or another."

[Scout]

I googled Julie Popovich and came across this on TwilightKingdom.org. There are a number of unsolved murders in Ohio of young, attractive female college students. I felt my stomach drop as I read that her car had been set on fire. I can only think of one person.... It has been raining cats and dogs here in Vienna ever since Taylor's body has been found. Strange, we haven't gotten any rain in a month.

"There was Lawrenceville, Georgia resident, Jody Brant, for instance. The link in Jody's name will take you to the CharleyProject.org page about her very troubling disappearance in May of 1994. The attractive, blonde 16-year-old was traveling from Georgia to Pontiac, Michigan when she vanished. The last anyone ever heard from Jody, she called Georgia to say she was lost, and in Erie, Ohio. Then the next evidence found was her abandoned and burned two-door Ford Escort, on a country road just outside Toledo, Ohio. No sign of what happened to Jody was found, and the fire was intentionally set inside the passenger compartment of the Escort."

WTF???

[terret]

JOHNNY DEPP CONNECTION!

Look... is it just me who has realized this?

According to Taylor's myspace page, she was a big Johnny Depp fan... she listed his movies as her favorites AND belonged to a Johnny Depp fan group.

Look at the Ben Fawley mugshot:
http://taylorbehl.notagz.com/face0011.jpg

Alright... now look at Johnny Depp in the movie 'Rear Window'
http://www.cavalierdaily.com/.Archives/2004/03/25/ae-secretwindow.gif

Tell me that there wasn't an attraction element here... and tell me Ben didn't find out she liked Johnny Depp and change his apppearence to look more like him? Sicko. The other thing is... I'm wondering if Johnny Depp's character in that movie didn't have correlations to Ben Fawley--- i believe his character was somewhat of a serial killer--- someone coreect me who has seen it more recently?

[Terret]

I think my link to the rear window picture was bad--- here's another one:

http://www.nowtoronto.com/issues/2004-03-11/movie_reviews2-1.jpg

or just look it up yourself with a google image serach to see the similarities...

[Terret]

Ben Fawley's myspace page has also been taken down. You used to be able to access it by seraching for the name 'skulz'

[trish]

terret, omg even if he had no intention those two pictures side by side are crazy they do bear a strong resemblence....omg

[MOONKAT]

Reading the Crime Library message board on TB, it seems someone(s) wrote to the webmaster to shut down BF's page because the comment section was filling up with "rot in hell, killer," kinds of stuff even though BF wouldn't be able to read it.

Yeah, the similarities are pretty weird! I am STILL wondering where Skulz was in August....seems to me he talked about going to Ohio, but I may be dreaming it.

[Liz]

Terret, I thought the Johnny Depp likeness thing too...back when I thought he was her friend and was concerned....now he doesn't seem to resemble him so much anymore

[anon 2]

U.S.Marine,

That's sweet and so innocent. There is no norm in the art world.

[cosmicmojo]

yeah, the very nature of art is to push the envelope, expolore, provoke thought and discussion.

[cosmicmojo]

oh and people,
*please* do not ruin Johnny Depp for me!
I don't want to think of yuckoface whenever I think of my Johnny!!! Don't ruin my fantasy. No more talk about elsicko resembling Johnny Depp!

[rebel]
